In Session

"... an essential release for anyone even mildly interested in the blues. The blues just do not get any better than this ... King and Vaughan will not pass this way again ... a defining moment in both of their careers ... a must for any blues collection."- Blogcritics.org

"... the blues world has never really produced a performer who could come close to filling the shoes of these electric guitar-slinging geniuses. That's why this reissue has gained in stature ... this was a rare, never-to-be-repeated summit and the groove was deep, dynamic and masterful. King dominates but it's clear he views Vaughan as his worthy successor."- USA Today

This collaboration between the two blues guitar greats was taped for a Canadian television broadcast in 1983, just as Stevie Ray Vaughan was starting to make a reputation for himself. Most of the songs are from Albert King's repertoire; only one Vaughan tune is included (Pride And Joy) taken from his debut album which was only a few months old at the time. In Session is the only known recording of King and Vaughan performing together and stands as a fitting tribute to the genius of two of the greatest musicians ever to have played the blues on electric guitar.

Offers & New Releases

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
